Statesboro teen arrested for impregnating 11-year-old

A 17-year-old Statesboro man has been arrested for child molestation and other charges after sheriff’s deputies say they discovered he impregnated an 11-year-old girl.

Brandon Lamar Golden, 17, was charged with one count each of child molestation, statutory rape and enticing a child for indecent purposes, according to a news release from the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators were called to East Georgia Regional Medical Center on Monday after getting a report that an 11-year-old was pregnant. Subsequent investigation indicated the pregnancy was the result of incidents that happened in Bulloch County this year, and interviews revealed Golden was the father, according to the news release.

Golden was arrested and taken to the Bulloch County jail pending a bond hearing.

The sheriff’s office asks anyone with information concerning the case to call investigator John Quattlebaum at 912-764-1785 or submit an anonymous tip to tips@bullochsheriff.com.
